About the exhibit

Created in collaboration with Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome, this is not a traditional exhibition; it’s an immersive journey of discovery and wonder.

Interact with Leonardo’s incredible machine inventions, connecting ideas and concepts from 500 years ago to today’s technological advances, revealing his impact on today’s world and his influence on the future.

Learn Leonardo’s story in a mesmerizing immersive gallery space woven through the streets of Florence, the canals of Venice and the grandeur of Milan, engaging the senses.

Leonardo, an inspirational icon, transcended the boundaries of his era with insatiable curiosity, contributing to science, technology, engineering, art, and maths. The exhibition features interactive displays, life-sized replicas, and installations showcasing the breadth and depth of his work.

Join us on this immersive journey and discover the universal appeal of Leonardo’s curiosity, creativity, and innovation. Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius brings history to life in a way that captivates and inspires audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
